Business Continuity Plan - Pandemic

Please note that there is not a specific policy or template to cover pandemic, because its impacts can vary from organization to organization, which makes it unfeasible to develop a template to cover all possible situations.

However, the toolkit provides you the means to customize a BCP to handle this situation. What you need to do is:

• use the "Bird Flu Pandemic" scenario, documented on template "Examples of Disruptive Incident Scenarios", located on folder 06 Business Continuity Strategy, to identify the strategies and actions required to ensure business continuity and business recovery (e.g., use of masks, work from home, etc.)

In case you have any BCP which covers staff shortage or lack of communications, you can use them as a basis to develop a BCP to handle the impacts of a pandemic.
